Flickering windows

[JonnyTech]

The open windows flicker which can be very irritating. To show the symptoms:

• open a few windows ie main ideU, symbols, commandor
• hover mouse cursor over a commandor icon
• when the tooltip appears, all of the windows flicker

Tested with Linux64 and latest ideU (binary and recompiled)

Thanks to report it. I will check it asap. (did you test with last ideU commit + last MSEgui commits ? )

Does it append with MSEide too ?

Thanks.

I downloaded from https://github.com/fredvs/ideU/archive/master.zip Should I be doing anything else? MSEide does not show any flickering issues whatsoever.

I downloaded from https://github.com/fredvs/ideU/archive/master.zip

This is ok, (but did you try with the very last commits (10 minutes ago)).

MSEide does not show any flickering issues whatsoever.

OK, I will check this asap.

Ideas?

[fredvs]

OK, I will check this tonight. Write you later.

(I use fpc 3.1.1, I will install fpc 3.0.0 and test it)

Hello.

Huh, tested and compiled with Linux Mint 17 64 bit... without error... Also no flickering windows...

How did you do to download last ideU release ?

The way I do is to click on the "Clone or download" button of githug.com/fredvs/ideU, then on "Download ZIP". See here:

Did you delete all old files in /src/units/ before to compile the new release ?

Fre;D

[fredvs]

Re-hello.

How did you do to compile ? Did you use MSEide or ideU compiled-in-release using ideU.prj file ?

Or did you do a other way?

Fre;D

[fredvs]

Re-re hello.

I think I get it ;-)

Compiling sak_mse.pas sak_mse.pas(66,10) Error: Identifier not found "class" sak_mse.pas(67,3) Error: Error in type definition sak_mse.pas(67,3) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but "identifier PROTECTED" found

--> this if compiling sak_mse.pas alone because this was missing:

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

Huh..., could you try with last commit ?

Many thanks.

[JonnyTech]

Perfect! It now compiles and the flickering is gone. Thanks for your help.

[fredvs]

Yep, I am happy too. Thanks to note it ;-) Fre;D
